In the Ili Valley, two people and two horses were standing side by side, talking to each other. They were Jin Weixin, the newly appointed governor of Tianmingnan and Tianbei, and Wang Shenzhi, the governor of Tianbei.
"Governor Xian, Your Majesty has ordered us to split up the Turgut tribe and place them in various places. I'm afraid this task is not easy to handle?" Wang Shenzhi said to Jin Weixin with a frown on his face.
Jin Weixin snorted coldly: "It must be done even if it is difficult to do. How can our ministers change the holy words of the Holy Spirit? Are the troops ready?"
"Peng Mingyang, Wu Guogui, Yang Guanglie, and Zu Zerun have all prepared." After a brief pause, Wang Shenzhi said hesitantly: "Governor Xian, the people of Torgut came thousands of miles to vote for the Ming Dynasty. If they are unwilling to accept the split, The conditions for resettlement, do you really want to send troops to annihilate them?"
"Wang Futai must not be benevolent as a woman. The Holy One has said that the Turgut people have come from thousands of miles away to surrender, so they are naturally welcome. Our Ming Dynasty must send troops to protect them to avoid being bullied by the Rakshasa people. But now that we have entered the Ming Dynasty , they have to abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty. When dividing the resettlement and allocating pastures, they must organize households and pay taxes. This is the obligation of the people of the Ming Dynasty. If they do not comply, they are ambitious and can be eliminated quickly. ”.
Wang Shenzhi took a breath of cold air. Among the three Wang brothers, he had the gentlest character and was not as good as Wang Jiezhi. Wang Fuzhi was resolute. He couldn't bear to hear what he said. He could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that the Turgut people would accept the imperial court's request. Conditions to avoid suffering bloody disasters.
Punchuk Khan's envoy came. When he saw Jin Weixin, he asked: "The Turghut people traveled thousands of miles to come and surrender. This matter has been reported to the imperial court. Why is Du Xian so prepared with heavy troops as if facing a formidable enemy? Isn't that not the case?" To chill the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous men?"
"Did the Erturhut tribe sincerely surrender to the Ming Dynasty, or was it just a pretense?" Jin Weixin asked calmly.
"Nature is sincere."
"Then let your Punchuk Khan come to the governor's tent. The governor wants to see him." After saying this, Jin Weixin served tea to see off the guests. This was a test for him to test the Turgut people.< /p>
"Father Khan, the Ming army is very aggressive. It may not mean well. You can't go." Ayuqi stopped Punchuk Khan's horse.
Pengchuk Khan sat on the horse and sighed, "My son, don't worry, I expect this trip to be safe. Besides, the Torgut tribe has no way out and can only sincerely surrender to the Ming Dynasty. We must go to see the Jin Dynasty." The governor of the constitution shows the sincerity of the Turgut people. Get out of the way quickly and do it as a father."
"Father, what if?" Ayuqi gritted his teeth, "What if you can't come back?"
Punchukhan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "If I can't come back, you will take your people to Kazakhstan and join Toukehan."
??
Hearing that Punchuk Khan had arrived, Jin Weixin breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this Turgut man has sincerely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. This is easy to handle. The only thing left is how to arrange it.
Negotiation requires skills. Jin Weixin did not talk about resettlement first, but held a banquet to warmly entertain Punchukhan and his party.
His attitude was extremely polite, and he personally led a group of officials out of the city to greet him.
Punchuk Khan was a little confused. Why did the governor first take possession of the throne and then show respect?
The grand banquet began. On Jin Weixin's side, Tianbei Governor Wang Shenzhi, Chief Envoy Guan Siqiu, Inspector Lu Liuliang, Admiral Peng Mingyang, Commander-in-Chief Wu Guogui, Yang Guanglie, Zu Zerun and other civil and military officials were all present; On the side of Punchuk Khan, there are two Noyans from Yildun and Luobuzang and some elders from the tribe.
"Chief Punchuk, who understands the righteousness deeply, admires China, is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and leads his troops thousands of miles away to join the army. It is truly an admirable feat! The Governor proposes that we raise a toast to Chief Punchuk." Jin Weixin spoke first.
Punchuk Khan did not dare to neglect, thanked him repeatedly, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then Wang Shenzhi, Bu Guan Siqiu, Lu Liuliang and others also raised their glasses to toast.
Everyone kept putting high hats on Punchuk Khan and the accompanying Torgut nobles, praising their heroic feats.
The spring breeze turns into rain, silently.
The Turgut leaders fully felt the warmth of returning home, and any previous resentment disappeared.
"Congratulations to all the leaders," Jin Weixin said with a warm and sincere smile, "The governor has received the news, and the Holy Spirit has issued a decree to make leader Pengchuk the Duke of the country, and the other leaders will all be rewarded."
When everyone heard this, they became even more happy. In the Ming Dynasty, when the country was at its peak, titles were valuable.
Jin Weixin observed what was happening and felt that it was almost time. He ordered the banquet to be removed and invited the distinguished guests to the living room to start negotiations.
"What! Why did the imperial court split up the Turghut Department?"
"Exactly, our Turhut people will stay together until death and never separate."
As soon as they heard that the Korean court was going to be divided and resettled, the nobles of Torgut exploded.
Wang Shenzhi hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Although the resettlement is divided, everyone is not far away. They are all in Tianbei Province. The main reason is that your department has a large population and there is really no grassland that can accommodate so many people." .
Pengchuk stared at Wang Shenzhi with bright eyes, "Please ask the imperial court to let all our Turhut people return to their ancestral homeland, Tarbahatai Mountain. Even if there is insufficient pasture, we can overcome it. How can we overcome it?" ?"
Wang Shenzhi was at a loss for words, so he had to say: "This is the holy will, I'm afraid it's difficult to change it."
"Cough, cough." Jin Weixin coughed twice, first attracting Punchuk's attention, and then said: "I think the leader is a man of temperament, so I won't hide some words. To be honest, there are people I will accuse you before the Holy One."
"Someone sued me? What did they sue me for?" Punchuk was surprised.
"Some people say that it is a lie that you surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. It is true that you want to take advantage of the defeat of the Junggar tribe to separate the western desert and become the king and hegemony. If you are taken in, it will probably bring disaster to your descendants."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Chugu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Before returning eastward, he indeed had the intention of taking advantage of the weakness of the Junggar tribe to replace him and dominate the desert west. But when he arrived in Yili, he saw all the equipment of the Ming Dynasty. A sophisticated and murderous army, I knew that this was just a fantasy, so I gave up and planned to be an obedient citizen. Who is so powerful that he guessed my original thoughts so accurately?"
I was shocked in my heart, but I cried out, "It's unfair! I really didn't mean it."
Jin Weixin sneered, "Your Majesty has quite a lot of doubts about this matter. If you want to relieve your father's worries, you can't just say it, you have to do it. Please ask Chief Punchuk to persuade the leaders to obey the court's arrangements, divide and resettle them, and organize households to equalize the people. Be a good citizen of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the rumors will stop and it will be good for everyone. If you refuse, it means that the rumors are true and there may be unexpected disasters."
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became tense. Generals Peng Mingyang, Wu Guogui, Yang Guanglie, and Zu Zerun unconsciously pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, preparing to fight.
Jin Weixin was not afraid at all, and looked at Punchuk with a calm smile. It seemed that he was not threatening, but just chatting with an old friend.
Punchukhan's back was wet, and he was covered in cold sweat. The other party had already stated the conditions, and there were only two ways in front of him: either accept the Ming Dynasty's arrangement, split up the resettlement, and integrate the people into households; or cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. Fight together until they are annihilated.
The opponent's aura was so calm and calm, and he seemed to have everything under control.
Punchuk had no doubt that once he refused, the Ming army would tear his tribe into pieces.
He hesitated again and again, and finally said feebly: "Once you enter the Ming Dynasty, you will become a Ming minister. I am willing to accept the orders of the imperial court."
